If it's 2030 and we look back to today, what do we see? According to Derk Loorback, director of DRIFT and professor of socioeconomic transitions at Erasmus University Rotterdam, in 2030 we will have set up the mobility, energy and food systems based on circular principles. “If we look at transitions in the past, they are characterised by a period of five to 15 years in which an entire social system completely changes its structure and form on a very large scale. (..) There is always some kind of moment when that process kicks into gear, only you can only recognise it in retrospect. When I look back, a lot is shifting and the momentum is much greater than about 10 years ago.”
At friday the 14th of April Loorbach joins the discussion at the Congres 'De delta in een wereld van schaarste', about the sustainable future of our delta (in Dutch, free entry).
